Even among progheads, Alkaloid are metal's maddest scientists. While testing the boundaries of extremity, the progressive death metal supergroup have explored what lies beneath the Antarctic crust and discovered a galactic civilization that ascends to god-like levels of domination. But on their upcoming live album, the band conduct a one-of-a-kind experiment that only a true maestro can perform. Bach Out of Bounds brings revered classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach in conversation with the heaviest of underground arts.
Today, Alkaloid are releasing the third and final advanced single from Bach Out of Bounds. Even though the original proved to be a stroke of genius, this new classical version of "The Fungi From Yuggoth" emerges as a real live beast.
"This performance captures the essence of Bach Out Of Bounds", says Morean, Alkaloid's chief composer. "'The Fungi From Yuggoth' is a pure death metal track, but this version is enhanced by five-string violin and cello with an extended improvisation section."
Watch Alkaloid perform "The Fungi From Yuggoth" on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.
